Chicken Caprese Salad

I’m currently writing this post on the drive down to Savannah (SO excited for our weekend getaway) but doing this in the car is not easy. And not because I get motion sick or anything.. but because I can’t stand not paying full attention to the road even though I’m not the one driving.

So our strategy to not eating sweets and other bad things is to not buy it and not have it around the house. It’s worked pretty well for us so far! Until I get an undeniable chocolate chip cookie craving.. and all bets are off. But luckily that doesn’t happen too often.
